About Daily Burn:

My co-worker keeps trying these different diets. We've worked together for almost seven years and I've seen her weight fluctuate up and down probably 20 pounds either way given any time. I'm thinking that type of activity can't be too safe. At least she doesn't lose or gain quickly. Each side of the swinging pendulum happens in a slow process. I'm pretty sure that her lack of exercise doesn't help. I know she walks probably five times a week, but I don't think she ever gets her heart rate up significantly. So basically she just expects her food intake, or lack thereof, to deem her weight. For me, I don't fluctuate that greatly. It's pretty much the same 10 pounds. And I know in my case, I need to stick to a more "regular" workout. I'll go on a seven-mile hike on Saturday and then a five-mile run on Sunday, but then not have physical activity until the next weekend. I've been looking for something consistent, but I don't want (and can't pay) a trainer. I have a few DVDs, but I'm not motivated to do them. They get boring after a while. DailyBurn.com offers an interesting concept. From reading their website, it appears you can get a new workout everyday, all year. They say it's "live", but that's at 9am. I have job. They offer a "free" trial for 30 days, but I'm always skeptical when anyone asks for your credit card in advance. If it's free, then let me try it.
